"What the hell, they're so fragile. I thought the werewolves in this world would be much stronger."

Looking at the werewolf corpse lying on the ground, broken in two, Wu Xian frowned and retracted his fist.

Previously, he and the members of the Zhongzhou Team had launched a campaign to hunt dark creatures. They had encountered all sorts of demons and monsters, and had even killed a few vampires, but they had never seen a werewolf, which should have been very common in a magical world.

At first, Wu Xian thought this was because of Dracula, who didn't want anything capable of threatening him to exist in the world, so he had exterminated the werewolves long ago.

But now, after killing a werewolf with his own hands, he felt increasingly suspicious of the rumors that werewolves could kill Dracula.

No other reason—they were too weak.

Even if the werewolf virus was the bane of vampires, it shouldn't be this ridiculous. After all, Dracula wasn't an ordinary vampire; in the setting, neither holy water nor sunlight could kill him, so there was no reason he would fear mere werewolves.

Wu Xian seriously suspected that this was fake news deliberately leaked by Dracula, intended to mislead those monster hunters who wanted to deal with him, and then reveal the truth when they thought they had succeeded, just to enjoy the look of despair and fear on their faces.

Anyway, if Wu Xian were Dracula, he would definitely do that.

As for Fan Haixin in the movie, why was he able to easily defeat and kill Dracula after turning into a werewolf...

Is there a possibility that the reason Dracula died wasn't because Fan Haixin turned into a werewolf, but because the one who turned into a werewolf was Fan Haixin?

Recalling the memory fragments he had seen earlier, Wu Xian narrowed his eyes and temporarily suppressed his brainstorming.

At this moment, Fan Haixin and the members of the Zhongzhou Team also arrived at his side. Looking at the werewolf corpse on the ground, their expressions were all a bit strange.

"Wu, you just killed it like that?"

Fan Haixin asked with a frown; he had originally wanted to use this werewolf to deal with Dracula.

"It's different from Edward (Zheng Zha); it's Dracula's most loyal lackey and couldn't possibly help us. Anyway, what Dracula fears is the werewolf virus. We can just extract it from his blood and salivary glands. We have an expert in this field here, just leave it to him."

Still the same point: although it seemed unlikely, there was no harm in trying. If it really didn't work, they could still let Fan Haixin turn into a werewolf; it could be considered a trump card.

Thinking this, Wu Xian turned his gaze to Chu Xuan. The latter nodded in understanding and then took out a Devouring Bag to collect the werewolf corpse.

This magical scene immediately stunned Fan Haixin and the approaching Velkan siblings.

After Zhan Lan explained that this was an exorcism artifact of Eastern monster hunters, the former looked at Wu Xian and the others with an envious expression: "Truly amazing. Our Holy Order of Knights doesn't have such good things; otherwise, it would be much more convenient when going out to exorcise demons."

"If you want one, I'll give you a few after we deal with Dracula, as a parting gift... of course, if you're still alive by then."

Detecting the sourness in Fan Haixin's tone, Wu Xian said meaningfully, then looked at the reserved Velkan siblings and revealed a kind smile.

"Judging by your attire, you must be nobles. You must be Prince Velkan and Princess Anna."

Velkan swallowed hard. He had just seen with his own eyes Wu Xian punch a werewolf into two pieces. Even though he already knew the other party was a monster hunter, he still subconsciously protected his sister behind him:

"Yes, I am Velkan. Thank you very much for saving my sister just now. The Valerious family will remember your kindness."

"You're too kind. My companions and I have long admired the great name of the Valerious family. You have resisted the darkness for over four hundred years; you are the heroes of this world and deserve respect."

Saying this, the expression on Wu Xian's face became serious: "To tell you the truth, we came to Transylvania this time to eliminate Dracula, this scourge, so that your ancestors can find peace and their souls can return to heaven."

"Really!" x2

Velkan and Anna were both incredibly surprised upon hearing this. Thinking of the strength Wu Xian had just displayed and that vanished werewolf corpse, they immediately became expectant, feeling that this might be a sure win.

At the same time, Fan Haixin looked at the excited siblings and couldn't help but feel speechless.

Clearly, he was the warrior of the Lord, sent by the church, but now he felt more like a lackey helping Wu Xian, and his mood felt somewhat depressed.

Fortunately, it wasn't a big problem; although they were from different factions, they were all here to kill Dracula.

And according to the Bishop, as long as he could complete this mission, there was a possibility he could recover his memories.

For Fan Haixin, this was the most important thing!

Deep in the ancient town, inside a huge castle!

Although the Valerious family had long since declined, by Velkan's generation, there were only he and his sister Anna left; the family line was so withered it didn't even seem like a noble family.

However, as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and a broken ship still has three thousand nails.

Although the Valerious family was poor, they at least still held the title of Gypsy King, so maintaining the basic decency of a noble wasn't difficult. It was enough to entertain the Zhongzhou Team and Fan Haixin and the others, and feed these dozen or so mouths.

In the low-key yet luxurious dining room, nearly twenty people were dining at an extended table.

And because of the previous life-saving grace, plus the fact that Wu Xian and his group were here to eliminate Dracula, they received the highest courtesy.

Maids came and went, placing plates on the table, while Velkan personally stood up to pour the red wine that had been treasured for many years for everyone. His conversation displayed elegant manners and speech, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze, worthy of the setting of a prince.

At the same time, Anna also familiarly sat beside Zhan Lan, Zhao Yingkong, and other female members of the Zhongzhou Team, curiously asking about their past monster-hunting experiences.

The women did not refuse and told Anna about their experiences killing dark creatures over the past two months, causing this princess who had never left Romania to exclaim repeatedly.

"Mr. Wu, thank you so much."

Looking at his sister, who rarely showed a smile on her face, Velkan felt a warmth in his heart. He picked up a full glass of red wine and came to Wu Xian's side, saying sincerely:

"To be honest, ever since my father disappeared, I had actually prepared myself to die at Dracula's hands. The only thing I was worried about was Anna, but now your appearance has given me a glimmer of hope."

"To express my gratitude, I am willing to give all the wealth of the Valerious family to you all. Even if Dracula cannot be eliminated in the end, it doesn't matter. I only ask that you protect Anna's safety, and it would be best to take her away from here..."

At the last sentence, his voice was very low, clearly afraid that Anna would hear.

This guy is a sister-con!

Wu Xian sighed in his heart, but a notification sound from Friday reached his ears. It was the micro-robots Chu Xuan had scattered, discovering that five dark creatures were rapidly approaching from over ten kilometers away.

Five?

Wu Xian frowned. If Dracula could sense the death of the werewolf and sent vampire brides over in advance, he wouldn't be surprised, but the number didn't seem right.

Even counting Dracula himself, there should only be four vampires there.

Or could it be... he has taken a new wife again?
